Fall River Planning Board Approves Key Subdivision Plans, Allowing New Housing Developments

The Fall River Planning Board convened to endorse several subdivision plans, paving the way for new housing developments on Duth Street, Mason Road, and Belmont Street. These approvals followed zoning relief grants by the Board of Appeals.

02:20The most notable item discussed was the approval of an ANR (Approval Not Required) plan for a property on Duth Street. The plan proposed subdividing the parcel to create two separate lots, each with more than 5,000 square feet. The zoning relief had been previously granted for frontage and area, and the board confirmed that the plan met all necessary requirements for endorsement. This approval will allow the estate of the late Ronald J. Canard to proceed with their development plans.

05:15Another crucial development was the endorsement of a subdivision plan for a property on Mason Road. The board approved the plan to divide the existing parcel into three lots, maintaining the current two-family dwelling on one lot and creating two new lots intended for single-family homes. It was confirmed that the necessary zoning variances were in place.

07:59The board also approved a subdivision plan for a property on Belmont Street, which involves the division of a parcel with an existing three-family dwelling. The plan was endorsed following zoning relief for frontage that did not meet the 100-foot requirement. The proposed plan divides the property into two lots, one of which required the granted zoning relief.
